The problem with Recovery Console is you have to be exact, there are all types of prompts but if it's not exact it wont work. Maybe do a Google for Windows Recovery counsole and it will give you the exact procedure IE: Fixboot, Fixmbr (main boot record) it's a little frustrating but it will work if that is the problem.
